Just a below average idiot that mostly comments for one of 3 reasons:

Catharsis, expressing exasperation over the general state of things.

Looking to make someone laugh.

Self deprecation.

  • It became “my thing” around when I turned 19. I had previously been exposed to a bunch of conspiracy theories that I never really bought into by a friend and in trying to learn more about it all I ended up following politics more, eventually learning my way out of the conspiracy land and instead watching the decline of the US for myself instead of having some internet weirdos say it’s the Jews or the annunaki…

    It’s unfortunately more of a sick addiction now, I feel like I need to follow what is happening even though it just makes me extraordinarily depressed, seeing how no matter what we as a population will always be lead to make the wrong decisions and how there are so many people that revel in hatred and inflicting pain on “others.”

    The more I learned about politics the stronger my support became for my candidate:






  • Antifa has been branded by the GOP as a group that does not follow a specific ideology purely focused on fascism, they’ve been marked as a “dangerous, violent, leftist (important point) group.”

    The politicians are using the antifa boogyman as a political tool and the MAGA supporters are just opposing a group they see as “leftist terrorists.” In their eyes it has nothing to do with any kind of “legitimate” resistance to fascism so they’ll outright reject the notion that being against Antifa means your for fascism.

    They’ve been conditioned to absolutely loath anyone on the left with the most pure burning hatred, so in using the qualifier “leftist” in their description they invoke the thought terminating process, leftist means you hate them without thought, and antifa is now a label you can put on anyone you want to persecute. The “base” may have been conditioned to despise “the left,” but I think we’re still at the point where the right can’t simply say “we’re arresting them because they’re Democrats that are protesting our actions” so they need this “dangerous terrorist group” to exist as the enemy.

    As someone similarly unfamiliar with Linux I’ll say I just made the move as well a few weeks ago and haven’t had any issues so far! Ive even started playing with wine and lutris to get games working, with a little tweaking I was even able to drag the files of an already installed game from Windows over to Linux and then get lutris to run it. I was pretty surprised to see it worked lol






  • The invisible stuff or the things that go along with these huge purchases are often times not that far off in price from the initial purchase.

    I work for a company that makes a specific accessory for yachts. Some orders we get depending on the configuration can cost as much as a car for just one of them… These people will order 4+ in one go. This is an accessory to the yacht, something you sit on… It’s crazy

    It’s the natural evolution of unchecked right wing power and greed in a capitalist system, it’s pretty much as far right as you can go. Get the “right” person in power, the right propaganda systems in place, the “right” economic hardships in place and you can easily manipulate enough people to let you become a dictator and even want you to become dictator.

    Trick them with excessive nationalistic theater and they believe they’re being “patriots” defending their country from the big bad enemy you’ve made of your political opposition. You cannot allow that opposition to ever regain power that could threaten you so you literally crush them and the machinery that allows them to grasp at power.

    It’s pretty much all about power and greed with a disgusting dash of sadism.
